51
00:05:50,02 --> 00:05:53,21
turn the program over to
doctors more tone and you are.

52
00:06:02,56 --> 00:06:03,21
It's really

53
00:06:03,46 --> 00:06:09,00
a pleasure for me and Dr Mohamad Martin
to be here in Sacramento for me it's the

54
00:06:09,01 --> 00:06:15,70
first time for Dr Martin this
is the second time. Actually

55
00:06:15,74 --> 00:06:22,34
we with Dr Hama were here in
this trip attending mainly the

56
00:06:23,25 --> 00:06:30,20
conference which is the American Public
Health Association presenting. Actually

57
00:06:30,21 --> 00:06:35,82
the our work together and our perspective
to the situation in Palestine with regard

58
00:06:35,83 --> 00:06:41,03
to health sector health services and
challenges that are facing health

59
00:06:41,04 --> 00:06:46,35
professionals health or going to work health
organizations in Palestine at the same

60
00:06:46,36 --> 00:06:52,74
time also we were presenting our cooperation
as you know defenders for human rights

61
00:06:52,75 --> 00:06:57,54
whether Israelis and Palestinians and how
we cooperate in order to improve access

62
00:06:57,55 --> 00:07:03,61
for quality care and also to present
our perspectives that health care is

63
00:07:04,14 --> 00:07:10,69
about evil rights is about. Respecting
human rights and respecting human dignity

64
00:07:11,02 --> 00:07:17,59
and my presentation actually I will try
to focus on first our perspective too to

65
00:07:17,60 --> 00:07:23,48
health and how Medical Relief Society and
other health organizations where are

66
00:07:23,49 --> 00:07:28,99
responsive to health needs of the population
during the last maybe twenty or more

67
00:07:29,00 --> 00:07:35,85
years and at the same time how
organizations especially working in the

68
00:07:35,86 --> 00:07:40,27
health field have been instrumental in
building the resilience of molesting and

69
00:07:40,28 --> 00:07:47,17
people and contribute to contributing in
the overall national you know movement

70
00:07:47,42 --> 00:07:49,46
against occupation for

71
00:07:49,47 --> 00:07:56,16
a liberation and for freedom of the
policy and people. Lastly we will say

72
00:07:56,17 --> 00:08:02,89
something about maybe our. Joint
cooperation with regard to. How we

73
00:08:03,43 --> 00:08:10,36
do some work in improving access
of people to health services

74
00:08:11,20 --> 00:08:14,58
first of all I would like to
say something about policy

75
00:08:14,59 --> 00:08:20,86
a medical relief commuters. A medical
medical relief society which were actually

76
00:08:20,87 --> 00:08:27,18
before in the seventy's early eighty's it
was committees that were established on

77
00:08:27,19 --> 00:08:32,26
voluntary versus grassroots organizations
organization that has been established on

78
00:08:32,27 --> 00:08:39,12
voluntary basis. Composed of health
professionals doctors and part of the

79
00:08:39,13 --> 00:08:45,10
CAN staff as well and the main idea was
to provide health services for the poor

80
00:08:45,11 --> 00:08:51,34
population marginalized groups and to
outreach people in their remote areas at the

81
00:08:51,35 --> 00:08:57,10
same time to contribute in building the
resilience of Philistines to confront and

82
00:08:57,11 --> 00:09:02,54
to cope maybe with the difficulties that
are posed by the Israeli occupation and

83
00:09:03,04 --> 00:09:10,01
also at the same time we when stablished
we were trying also to present.

84
00:09:11,06 --> 00:09:11,82
To introduce

85
00:09:11,86 --> 00:09:18,15
a new perspective. Of Health which is
based on community health approach.

86
00:09:20,90 --> 00:09:24,70
Health and Human Rights we
strongly believe that health is

87
00:09:24,74 --> 00:09:31,26
a human rights. We don't believe that
health is just merely an absence of disease

88
00:09:31,54 --> 00:09:34,39
it's rather a status of well being good at

89
00:09:34,40 --> 00:09:39,86
a social or mental wellbeing and that could
not be guaranteed I mean the overall

90
00:09:39,87 --> 00:09:45,89
concept of Health and Human Rights could
not be going to read without ensuring

91
00:09:45,96 --> 00:09:52,46
basic civil and political he wants
rights of the people. P M A R

92
00:09:52,47 --> 00:09:54,44
S as an organization as

93
00:09:54,45 --> 00:10:01,10
a health organizations organization believes
first and foremost in social justice.

94
00:10:02,23 --> 00:10:04,45
And we believe that social justice is

95
00:10:04,46 --> 00:10:11,25
a way to provide people people with better
health so our perspective on this is

96
00:10:11,45 --> 00:10:12,67
social justice is

97
00:10:12,68 --> 00:10:19,65
a base for ensuring. Quality of health
for the people Second we believe in

98
00:10:19,66 --> 00:10:24,54
community participation and in community
empowerment without the participation of

99
00:10:24,55 --> 00:10:31,45
community we cannot talk about quality of
health care services and also we believe

100
00:10:31,46 --> 00:10:37,26
in an integrated approach that it's not
only medical personnel or or you know

101
00:10:37,27 --> 00:10:42,58
professionals that are responsible for
providing health care health care it should

102
00:10:42,59 --> 00:10:45,46
be looked at as a multiethnic
Tauriel you know

103
00:10:45,47 --> 00:10:50,67
a provision where other sectors especially
the education sector should be involved

104
00:10:50,68 --> 00:10:57,26
in this process. B.M.R.

105
00:10:57,27 --> 00:10:57,78
S.

106
00:10:57,97 --> 00:11:05,23
Where King in stable situation
this has been the case for around

107
00:11:05,38 --> 00:11:10,58
thirty years and still is by the way
it is unstable situation we call it

108
00:11:10,92 --> 00:11:17,17
a chronic emergency that we have
been. Living through all those years

109
00:11:17,57 --> 00:11:24,25
second lack of access which is the right
word lack of access for health and medical

110
00:11:24,26 --> 00:11:30,81
services it's not because people cannot
afford you know services or. Cannot

111
00:11:30,86 --> 00:11:37,35
get those services but the idea that
people physically are abstracted to get

112
00:11:37,36 --> 00:11:43,59
the services because of political
considerations because of political factors and

113
00:11:43,60 --> 00:11:49,23
the last one. The whole
situation I mean the whole.

114
00:11:51,69 --> 00:11:58,53
Dynamics of the complex of the political
and social situation has resulted

115
00:11:58,54 --> 00:12:05,07
in what we call social suffering so
people are under social stress under

116
00:12:05,08 --> 00:12:11,21
psychological stress all through like
decades and without having their problems

117
00:12:11,25 --> 00:12:17,48
solved so this is the overall context
where the health professionals. And the

118
00:12:18,22 --> 00:12:24,87
policy of Medical Relief Society is
working. In brief in words in very

119
00:12:24,88 --> 00:12:28,35
simple straightforward words Palestine is

120
00:12:28,92 --> 00:12:34,50
a country under siege and this is just
the picture of the world by the way the

121
00:12:34,51 --> 00:12:40,43
world has. Already has been in parts
of the world that has been built

122
00:12:40,91 --> 00:12:47,57
almost six hundred kilometers on the
Palestinian land. Few words about the

123
00:12:47,58 --> 00:12:54,07
history of the conflict the conflict has
been there now for more than sixty four

124
00:12:54,38 --> 00:13:00,33
years and some people say even more
than sixty four he says but there is

125
00:13:00,34 --> 00:13:06,23
a lot was devastating on Palestinians
and I think on Israelis as well

126
00:13:07,20 --> 00:13:13,19
millions have been turned into. Who are
living in Palestine fled to other Arab

127
00:13:13,20 --> 00:13:16,37
countries in one thousand nine hundred four
and in one thousand nine hundred seven

128
00:13:16,77 --> 00:13:18,14
now millions of poor

129
00:13:18,15 --> 00:13:24,28
a million refugee population are living
outside Palestine Palestinians second

130
00:13:25,23 --> 00:13:31,68
the whole situation have been
of oppression. Depreciation

131
00:13:31,95 --> 00:13:37,87
humiliation and exclusion these are the
processes that are taking place at

132
00:13:37,91 --> 00:13:42,03
different levels whether
politically or socially.

133
00:13:46,62 --> 00:13:53,07
I just want to recall. Mr Dugard who is

134
00:13:53,08 --> 00:13:59,81
a very well known figure in human
rights field he said that the whole

135
00:13:59,82 --> 00:14:04,85
history between one thousand nine hundred
seven until now of the Palestinian

136
00:14:04,86 --> 00:14:11,75
territories could be correct characterized
by these three words one is military

137
00:14:11,76 --> 00:14:18,63
occupation second is colonization prayer
process it's not simply just military

138
00:14:18,89 --> 00:14:22,66
occupation but also building
corners inside policing

139
00:14:22,67 --> 00:14:28,68
a learned and moving population
Israeli population from Israel to the

140
00:14:29,32 --> 00:14:35,02
Palestinian territories and according to
international law this is considered as

141
00:14:35,03 --> 00:14:35,87
a war crime by

142
00:14:35,88 --> 00:14:42,24
a year for us and third is racial
discrimination which is most important now

143
00:14:42,65 --> 00:14:49,49
after forty years of this process we can
say that there are two systems inside the

144
00:14:49,50 --> 00:14:55,76
Palestinian territories one for the
Palestinians and one for the Israeli settlers

145
00:14:56,57 --> 00:15:01,76
and the racial discrimination
that has been developed into

146
00:15:01,77 --> 00:15:05,18
a kind of official policy
of Israel is practically

147
00:15:05,22 --> 00:15:10,52
a practice not only against Palestinians
inside the present territories but also

148
00:15:10,53 --> 00:15:14,89
against Palestinians living inside Israel
and by the way those who are living

149
00:15:14,90 --> 00:15:19,34
inside the way there are almost one
million and six hundred thousand people

150
00:15:20,20 --> 00:15:27,19
Palestinians in addition to that.
And I think in addition to these

151
00:15:27,20 --> 00:15:32,63
three major character sticks I
think what we are also recalling.

152
00:15:34,72 --> 00:15:35,10
Is

153
00:15:35,11 --> 00:15:41,81
a social phenomena of social injustice or
social injustices that have been there in

154
00:15:42,08 --> 00:15:45,19
the Palestinian territories this is just

155
00:15:45,72 --> 00:15:51,21
a map that illustrates I mean the West
Bank including of course the West Bank

156
00:15:51,22 --> 00:15:57,37
including Jerusalem with the population.
That are there almost in the West Bank and

157
00:15:57,37 --> 00:16:04,37
. Around four hundred thirty four
million people. In Israel there are

158
00:16:04,41 --> 00:16:09,07
like seven million people but if you
calculate you know the equation between

159
00:16:09,87 --> 00:16:15,16
Palestinians and Jews within what we call
the mandated Palestine the historical

160
00:16:15,17 --> 00:16:21,49
Palestine it's almost fifty percent fifty
percent but what we have now actually is

161
00:16:21,50 --> 00:16:28,13
a racial discrimination system that is
ruling you know the. The population there.

162
00:16:29,45 --> 00:16:32,43
Oh slow. People talk about or slow

163
00:16:32,44 --> 00:16:37,79
a lot also has been signed here in Washington
in one nine hundred ninety three and

164
00:16:37,80 --> 00:16:44,32
when signed people were hoping
that this will end as we say with

165
00:16:44,36 --> 00:16:51,32
happy you know and. Peace will prevail
between Palestinians and Israelis and by the

166
00:16:51,33 --> 00:16:56,25
way was meant to be in two
stages one is what we call.

167
00:16:59,14 --> 00:17:05,90
Temporary state stage and the other one
is paramount and stage unfortunately all

168
00:17:05,91 --> 00:17:09,30
slow has led to more that

169
00:17:09,31 --> 00:17:15,68
a relation of the situation and
look at this map. When you left

170
00:17:16,19 --> 00:17:22,84
the red spots out of settlements
Israel has taken advantage of

171
00:17:22,98 --> 00:17:28,08
signing this agreement and those five
years that were supposed to be as

172
00:17:28,09 --> 00:17:32,67
a temporary stage were tell
first of all turned into

173
00:17:33,33 --> 00:17:39,68
a permanent one and at the same time Israel
took advantage to move more than two

174
00:17:39,69 --> 00:17:45,88
hundred thousand settlers inside the area
of the West Bank and building this red

175
00:17:45,89 --> 00:17:50,92
spots area. And if you can imagine
that after this we could have

176
00:17:50,93 --> 00:17:57,09
a Palestinian state. I mean what Israel has
done during the last one thousand years

177
00:17:57,42 --> 00:18:02,29
is just destroying the
possibility of having

178
00:18:02,30 --> 00:18:07,83
a two state solution and instead of
concluding on a peace agreement apparently

179
00:18:07,84 --> 00:18:13,54
a peace agreement in one thousand nine
hundred ninety what happened was on the

180
00:18:13,55 --> 00:18:19,04
contrary actually deterioration at all
levels including building the wall.

181
00:18:20,67 --> 00:18:27,40
Separating the Palestinians from each
others and imposing new measures measures

182
00:18:27,41 --> 00:18:33,48
that have not have not been there ever
during the last forty years what is

183
00:18:33,49 --> 00:18:38,85
happening on the ground now
is. In reality it's just.

184
00:18:40,52 --> 00:18:47,43
Destroying or maybe affecting the cohesion
of the Palestinian people actually what

185
00:18:47,44 --> 00:18:53,71
we are having now the Palestinian area or
territories have have been turned into

186
00:18:53,97 --> 00:19:00,80
three segregated completely segregated
locations one is the Gaza Strip one

187
00:19:00,81 --> 00:19:05,51
is the West Bank and one is Jerusalem and
people Palestinians cannot move between

188
00:19:05,52 --> 00:19:08,78
those three areas so each like

189
00:19:09,07 --> 00:19:16,02
a. Cluster of people cannot
have this continuation with

190
00:19:16,03 --> 00:19:21,23
the their brothers and sisters and
you know other community members.

191
00:19:23,66 --> 00:19:29,77
Access I would like also to emphasize on
this that the main phenomena that we are

192
00:19:29,78 --> 00:19:36,62
facing is. Limited access to health services
and to other ways services as well.

193
00:19:38,02 --> 00:19:44,62
And we talk about not only the
physical the prevention of

194
00:19:44,63 --> 00:19:51,46
physical access but also making
people making access for health

195
00:19:51,47 --> 00:19:57,35
services more difficult for people this
is just an illustration about the closure

196
00:19:57,36 --> 00:20:01,80
regime of the checkpoint regime as we
call it and according you know to many

197
00:20:01,81 --> 00:20:08,71
figures there were like six hundred.
Checkpoints located all over the

198
00:20:08,72 --> 00:20:14,98
West Bank city getting pristine in areas
from each other's And who decides actually

199
00:20:14,99 --> 00:20:21,50
whether this woman is need for hospitalization
the need for medical care is not

200
00:20:21,51 --> 00:20:23,22
a doctor is not an heiress is not

201
00:20:23,23 --> 00:20:30,02
a health professional but the soldier.
Who decides exactly and out of this we

202
00:20:30,03 --> 00:20:36,04
have registered cases of people of women
who delivered those checkpoints of some

203
00:20:36,05 --> 00:20:42,34
women who have been. You know.
Inflicted the harms were

204
00:20:42,35 --> 00:20:45,24
complications of you know there are

205
00:20:45,25 --> 00:20:50,26
a delivery have happened and we have
registered cases of people who have died

206
00:20:50,30 --> 00:20:56,07
actually because of the prevention of
you know moving to health facilities so

207
00:20:56,08 --> 00:20:58,45
access problem in my mind is

208
00:20:58,49 --> 00:21:05,05
a major problem when it comes to the
Palestinian context obstruction you know those

209
00:21:05,06 --> 00:21:11,11
are the what we call them gates around the
world where you know Palestinians are

210
00:21:11,12 --> 00:21:15,43
living on both sides but there are blocked
off by the keys and the kids are with

211
00:21:15,44 --> 00:21:19,67
the soldiers and whenever they want to
open them they open them and whenever they

212
00:21:19,68 --> 00:21:26,45
close them they just closed them in.
Front of the people and this is just

213
00:21:26,46 --> 00:21:32,27
a sign that has been put by the Army that
this area is for Been To You know enter

214
00:21:33,05 --> 00:21:38,56
by you. Especially the
medical stuff by no other.

215
00:21:39,60 --> 00:21:44,99
Residents that are not residing
in this area. Over to just

216
00:21:45,00 --> 00:21:51,19
a few words about poverty because we believe
that health when when we talk about

217
00:21:51,20 --> 00:21:51,77
health it's

218
00:21:51,86 --> 00:21:58,49
a social phenomenon and we believe that
poverty. Is leading to low education low

219
00:21:58,50 --> 00:22:04,86
social class and low income and inequalities
and this affects the overall health

220
00:22:05,07 --> 00:22:10,63
situation and this is our understanding
where poverty is completely linked with the

221
00:22:10,64 --> 00:22:16,68
health status of the population and we also
believe in the social determinants that

222
00:22:16,69 --> 00:22:23,33
are affecting or impacting the health
conditions of people and I just listed three

223
00:22:23,34 --> 00:22:29,17
conditions that I so important
to just. Put in front of you

224
00:22:30,09 --> 00:22:35,76
according to many studies by the way we
have restarted standard Crohn's growth

225
00:22:36,31 --> 00:22:41,12
amongst children due to illness Russia
and of course you can link it to the

226
00:22:41,13 --> 00:22:46,09
political situation and to the
social situation Second we have

227
00:22:46,13 --> 00:22:50,10
a very serious problem when it comes to
social suffering because social suffering

228
00:22:50,83 --> 00:22:52,14
resulted in

229
00:22:52,18 --> 00:22:58,70
a kind of. Mental ill will
be that let me say it

230
00:22:59,14 --> 00:23:03,36
in this way. Yes we are facing

231
00:23:03,37 --> 00:23:08,94
a very serious problems when it comes to
mental well being of the population and

232
00:23:08,95 --> 00:23:14,22
the last condition that I just wanted to
share with you is the and see the problem

233
00:23:14,23 --> 00:23:20,39
which is not communicable disease problem
which is rising we talk about the rise in

234
00:23:20,80 --> 00:23:27,62
you know cancer patients talk about
the rise of cardiovascular diseases

235
00:23:28,57 --> 00:23:31,69
and we talk about rise
of diabetes for instance

236
00:23:32,35 --> 00:23:37,92
a considerable amount of our people are
suffering from diabetes. And whenever you

237
00:23:37,93 --> 00:23:43,18
talk about Palestine from one side you
have poverty and you have diseases for the

238
00:23:43,19 --> 00:23:46,15
third world. And from
the other side you have

239
00:23:46,16 --> 00:23:52,36
a rise in non-communicable diseases so the
picture there is very complicated and

240
00:23:52,37 --> 00:23:58,81
very. Strange responding I
mean what we do is just

241
00:23:58,82 --> 00:24:04,20
responding to all those needs especially
with regard to access and this is exactly

242
00:24:04,21 --> 00:24:11,00
what we do with. Our group we try
to outreach people and we try

243
00:24:11,01 --> 00:24:18,01
to do some looming. Vocus see where
career with regard to human rights and

244
00:24:18,02 --> 00:24:20,73
violation of human rights we did

245
00:24:20,74 --> 00:24:27,56
a lot of. You know where on the issues

246
00:24:27,57 --> 00:24:33,78
of how to defend him rights when
it comes to the violation of

247
00:24:34,25 --> 00:24:41,00
health rights of the population and. Our
friend here also mentioned the work of

248
00:24:41,72 --> 00:24:46,82
Physicians for Human Rights and the closer
home in particular about to defend the

249
00:24:46,83 --> 00:24:52,24
defense about defending the rights of the
present the rights of prisoners which is

250
00:24:52,28 --> 00:24:59,13
very important. We also believe
in social action we don't believe

251
00:24:59,14 --> 00:25:04,36
that health is just merely about providing
services maybe in community manner but

252
00:25:04,37 --> 00:25:11,27
also we believe that social action is
also part of health responsibility and

253
00:25:11,78 --> 00:25:17,21
here our friend also said something about
the social responsibility of medical

254
00:25:17,22 --> 00:25:23,16
stuff we do it in maybe other parents
but it's the same maybe I believe

255
00:25:23,61 --> 00:25:28,75
understanding that medical stuff has this
social responsibility for the issues

256
00:25:28,76 --> 00:25:35,75
related to their community. That's
we whenever we talk about social

257
00:25:35,76 --> 00:25:40,73
responsibility we are talking about
strengthening the resilience of the people at

258
00:25:40,77 --> 00:25:47,51
and resting their needs and influencing
the social polices. With regard to you

259
00:25:47,52 --> 00:25:54,34
know the situation both in the
US and in the West Bank. The

260
00:25:54,48 --> 00:25:59,45
last thing that I wanted to say I
just tried to put the challenges and.

261
00:26:00,81 --> 00:26:07,45
Whenever I prepare this presentation I put
like five challenges that are you know

262
00:26:07,46 --> 00:26:13,53
confronting Palestinians working in the
field of health etc but when I came here I

263
00:26:13,54 --> 00:26:19,85
just raised them and put one challenge is
just to keep up the spirit for us and for

264
00:26:19,86 --> 00:26:25,40
you in order to continue to serve our people
and to defend the rights of the people

265
00:26:25,58 --> 00:26:28,31
to live in dignity and in peace thank you.

266
00:26:39,83 --> 00:26:46,81
OK Good evening I really thank you for
coming. I'm quite excited to be here

267
00:26:47,71 --> 00:26:54,06
the last time was that I was here
like eight years ago was packed.

268
00:26:55,47 --> 00:27:02,44
Against my willing and.
No one for which it was

269
00:27:03,38 --> 00:27:08,71
and I'm really happy to have the opportunity
to come again to meet some familiar

270
00:27:08,72 --> 00:27:14,42
faces and maybe to know some.
So thank you for coming

271
00:27:15,48 --> 00:27:16,75
so let me tell you

272
00:27:16,76 --> 00:27:22,44
a little bit about Physicians for Human
Rights Israel and then another little bit

273
00:27:22,78 --> 00:27:29,72
about what's going on now and maybe you
have some questions that we bring up

274
00:27:30,26 --> 00:27:36,96
issues because it's impossible
to cover words ever going on in

275
00:27:36,97 --> 00:27:43,40
Israel and Palestine so talking about
these issues for human rights Israel.

276
00:27:47,39 --> 00:27:54,21
We started. Where I
stabbed twenty five years

277
00:27:54,22 --> 00:28:01,21
ago together I mean is there an
outcome. To the first intifada

278
00:28:01,92 --> 00:28:08,13
that started in Gaza Strip. We have
been in the beginning eleven people

279
00:28:10,12 --> 00:28:16,34
now we are around two thousand
people more than half our

280
00:28:16,97 --> 00:28:22,45
medical professionals. The
other half are members

281
00:28:23,41 --> 00:28:29,87
volunteers good people from
all kinds I mean for me

282
00:28:29,88 --> 00:28:36,52
Israeli saying Israel please
do not do the common mistake

283
00:28:36,82 --> 00:28:43,30
of thinking just about
Jews. Israel has twenty

284
00:28:43,31 --> 00:28:44,18
percent or

285
00:28:44,19 --> 00:28:50,71
a little bit more of Palestinian
citizens which have the same

286
00:28:51,04 --> 00:28:58,04
ID card same. Citizenship
maybe not the same heights

287
00:28:58,45 --> 00:29:05,30
I mean the same rights but not
the same. Rights in reality

288
00:29:06,24 --> 00:29:06,80
but this is

289
00:29:06,81 --> 00:29:14,12
a very long story which I will not
tell you about unless you ask them

290
00:29:14,41 --> 00:29:20,96
and so saying that we are
usually is IMO sharing to

291
00:29:20,96 --> 00:29:27,60
Jews and to Palestinians citizens of
Israel we started eleven now we are.

292
00:29:28,67 --> 00:29:35,51
Two thousand who are working meeting each

293
00:29:35,55 --> 00:29:39,02
and every week from time
to time more than once

294
00:29:39,03 --> 00:29:45,76
a week our Palestinian cause and not
only call it by listing in population

295
00:29:46,08 --> 00:29:48,31
form the West Wing like

296
00:29:48,32 --> 00:29:55,18
a doctor I love how form the medical relief
but not only the medical relief we are

297
00:29:56,42 --> 00:30:02,47
co-working go all in all kinds of
relationship even with the Hamas

298
00:30:04,73 --> 00:30:11,31
and. All kinds of medical. And

299
00:30:11,32 --> 00:30:17,96
Geos Palestinian and
you to make it short I

300
00:30:17,97 --> 00:30:24,26
tried to tell you what are
the main things for Israel

301
00:30:27,12 --> 00:30:33,64
our main idea is they. Like human rights

302
00:30:35,21 --> 00:30:39,72
as. Money keepers something that I.

303
00:30:42,03 --> 00:30:48,38
Defend others this is the
right i world. We are working

304
00:30:48,42 --> 00:30:55,25
against all mg's done by man
to man or by people to people

305
00:30:56,29 --> 00:31:02,81
if our not our first mission
is not struggling against

306
00:31:02,82 --> 00:31:07,18
a viable service or bacterias
though we are doing it on

307
00:31:07,19 --> 00:31:12,55
a daily basis but the
medical and the health

308
00:31:13,30 --> 00:31:19,38
services our install mentor for
the human rights principle

309
00:31:20,82 --> 00:31:21,53
we are not

310
00:31:21,54 --> 00:31:28,91
a humanitarian goal in any way when

311
00:31:28,92 --> 00:31:35,46
we are going to the west and we are growing
every Saturday every show but if you

312
00:31:35,47 --> 00:31:41,16
like doing more by Clooney in

313
00:31:41,17 --> 00:31:47,28
a place that our Palestinian friends or
colleagues will we are discussing they will

314
00:31:47,32 --> 00:31:54,26
choose the and we check each and

315
00:31:54,27 --> 00:32:00,48
every person that we come to might be
between two hundred to five hundred people

316
00:32:01,99 --> 00:32:08,22
and usually it's in between
those numbers so we are serving

317
00:32:08,57 --> 00:32:14,100
médecins yes back we don't
think that we can or we

318
00:32:15,01 --> 00:32:20,07
want to serve the the health problems on

319
00:32:20,08 --> 00:32:26,70
a national scale we cannot want
to be are doing is demonstrating

320
00:32:26,79 --> 00:32:33,29
against the situation that brought
us there that people cannot course

321
00:32:34,01 --> 00:32:40,53
from time to time families are divided
one is on the one hand or one side

322
00:32:40,98 --> 00:32:47,61
of this wall or fence or whatever and
the other are certainly on the other

323
00:32:47,62 --> 00:32:52,32
side which is not simple
to course so this.

324
00:32:54,03 --> 00:32:58,68
Segmentation of the Palestinian society

325
00:33:01,16 --> 00:33:01,52
is

326
00:33:01,53 --> 00:33:08,44
a terrible thing to have it stops
health Medici in education

327
00:33:08,70 --> 00:33:14,98
work social. Sub. Family family

328
00:33:16,01 --> 00:33:22,71
and we are there to demonstrate against
it to protest against it by the way

329
00:33:23,31 --> 00:33:29,84
by the way is not the right way to say
it but we are not just sitting there in

330
00:33:29,85 --> 00:33:36,03
a demonstration we are working in
medicine in the same time building being

331
00:33:37,04 --> 00:33:43,94
kind of good we and and
kind of building kind

332
00:33:43,95 --> 00:33:50,71
of bridges between the two people and
this brings me to the other point

333
00:33:52,12 --> 00:33:58,94
is. That what we are doing

334
00:34:00,66 --> 00:34:05,36
well King against the
segregation against oppression

335
00:34:07,10 --> 00:34:13,36
via coal working with
Palestinians It shows or may

336
00:34:14,12 --> 00:34:16,75
show and I'll turn a thief

337
00:34:16,76 --> 00:34:23,61
a way to the violence to the hatred and
we are doing it for twenty five years

338
00:34:24,27 --> 00:34:25,03
so it's

339
00:34:25,04 --> 00:34:33,89
a very good kind of record
all over history and we

340
00:34:33,90 --> 00:34:40,81
continue to do it not only this
settle this mobile clinic we created

341
00:34:40,82 --> 00:34:44,61
another kind of mobile clinic once

342
00:34:44,62 --> 00:34:51,34
a month for movie men to women I
mean only women will come and only

343
00:34:51,35 --> 00:34:58,13
women will examine them treat them whatever
which is really very important for me

344
00:34:58,14 --> 00:35:04,38
it's excellent then we
are doing. Times the.

345
00:35:05,88 --> 00:35:12,30
Medical conferences in the West
Bank what does that mean not only

346
00:35:12,31 --> 00:35:17,72
teaching and training and so on which is
excellent the best doctors in Israel are

347
00:35:17,73 --> 00:35:24,20
doing that but this is the kind of
protest against this blockage that

348
00:35:25,15 --> 00:35:31,52
medical students doctors all over
the place cannot get to medical

349
00:35:31,53 --> 00:35:37,43
conferences to get better training
to see what's going on in the

350
00:35:38,57 --> 00:35:45,07
in the Western I must say Well in
medicine so if they cannot go out

351
00:35:45,49 --> 00:35:52,37
we are coming in and doing
those days of training either

352
00:35:52,38 --> 00:35:59,20
there are those theoretical
conferences or practical surgery

353
00:35:59,21 --> 00:36:01,96
for one two or three days in

354
00:36:01,97 --> 00:36:08,95
a certain hospital certain Palestinian
hospital that we choose to give them and of

355
00:36:08,96 --> 00:36:15,68
course in those days
Palestinian. Patients will gain

356
00:36:15,76 --> 00:36:22,48
because they will be operated on
in the best way but this is Be A

357
00:36:22,92 --> 00:36:25,50
is the training and maybe

358
00:36:25,51 --> 00:36:32,36
a one if you like is what they
said before you cannot go out so

359
00:36:32,37 --> 00:36:38,01
we go in trying to show there is not

360
00:36:38,02 --> 00:36:42,83
a whole way and I believe there is
another way I would like to say

361
00:36:42,84 --> 00:36:49,16
a few words about the Palestinian
prisoners I guess that

362
00:36:49,21 --> 00:36:55,59
everyone here knows
about. The hunger strike

363
00:36:56,09 --> 00:37:02,10
that took place few months
ago and. For some reason of

364
00:37:02,80 --> 00:37:08,74
three that I know up to
one day go. Are still

365
00:37:09,41 --> 00:37:15,77
striking hunger striking and
one of them is over one

366
00:37:15,97 --> 00:37:22,72
hundred days with an believable I
mean he drinks water and get some

367
00:37:22,81 --> 00:37:29,18
I'm in mine of olives and and
vitamins but he is really absolutely

368
00:37:29,46 --> 00:37:35,77
not eating I think one
hundred and fifteen of

369
00:37:35,78 --> 00:37:41,69
sixteen days today he lost
his sight and most of I mean

370
00:37:43,02 --> 00:37:49,44
I can go into numbers and medical
facts I do not wish to do it

371
00:37:50,79 --> 00:37:55,06
but what does that mean
I really would like to

372
00:37:57,79 --> 00:37:58,01
to

373
00:37:58,02 --> 00:38:05,35
a ways they're worthless about these prisoners
but those prisoners the hunger strikers

374
00:38:06,09 --> 00:38:12,79
are fighting for all the poison else the
Prez the political person else which in

375
00:38:12,80 --> 00:38:18,81
years while they are called the security
personnel say no they are political poison

376
00:38:19,93 --> 00:38:22,71
and good amount good I mean

377
00:38:23,00 --> 00:38:29,33
a big amount of them. In. The ten.

378
00:38:30,71 --> 00:38:36,90
Administrative detention which means
to the non lawyers here in the

379
00:38:37,54 --> 00:38:44,25
audience which I guess everyone.
Is being imprisoned with

380
00:38:44,29 --> 00:38:49,52
out charge. Out trial for

381
00:38:50,87 --> 00:38:57,62
six month that can be really
new good for ever and the

382
00:38:57,91 --> 00:39:02,28
lawyer is the is one
cannot see the charges

383
00:39:04,68 --> 00:39:11,12
it's secretive so the person
cannot know what is charge

384
00:39:12,12 --> 00:39:19,12
what is Who high is. That
person cannot know when he will

385
00:39:19,13 --> 00:39:26,02
be released because if some someone
is convicted he or she knows it's

386
00:39:26,03 --> 00:39:32,100
one year it's ten years it's so on but
this person can never know it might be

387
00:39:33,01 --> 00:39:39,52
two more but it might be. In the
future and this is really this

388
00:39:39,53 --> 00:39:46,07
storing. It makes. People
in great and it was I.

389
00:39:47,31 --> 00:39:53,39
Doubt in secure the sense
of future is destroyed

390
00:39:54,52 --> 00:40:01,36
so I will tell you only on one prison
there because of the time and I

391
00:40:01,37 --> 00:40:07,96
guess that these story of her there are
none is representing the whole thing

392
00:40:08,29 --> 00:40:12,31
he started his. Hunger strike.

393
00:40:16,16 --> 00:40:22,79
Not with any. Reason
knows it's an open open

394
00:40:22,80 --> 00:40:29,66
and. Hunger strike he knew he
could die because I mean there

395
00:40:29,67 --> 00:40:31,63
is an end to how much

396
00:40:31,64 --> 00:40:37,86
a person even drinking and maybe having
all kinds of mean odds can stay with out

397
00:40:37,87 --> 00:40:44,74
eating but he said I am so much

398
00:40:45,18 --> 00:40:51,86
against this administrative that
their mission of myself and of us

399
00:40:52,85 --> 00:40:59,26
I am so much against the quarter
ways of being interval greater

400
00:41:00,76 --> 00:41:06,30
He even didn't say tortured
and not nice and and really.

401
00:41:08,49 --> 00:41:11,82
I don't want to say poor
like overly a kind man

402
00:41:11,89 --> 00:41:18,90
a cunt but kind of person and. He

403
00:41:18,91 --> 00:41:24,46
said We starve to death unless
you will over listening

404
00:41:26,85 --> 00:41:33,75
and many outcomes where two
of these things are done

405
00:41:33,79 --> 00:41:37,26
prisoners started hunger strike and in

406
00:41:37,27 --> 00:41:43,79
a certain point there were according
to whom it doesn't matter one thousand

407
00:41:43,80 --> 00:41:45,46
six hundred and

408
00:41:45,50 --> 00:41:50,73
a quarter according to the Israelis according
to the Palestinians over two thousand

409
00:41:51,06 --> 00:41:57,64
prisoners. Were under hunger

410
00:41:57,65 --> 00:41:58,84
strike for

411
00:41:58,85 --> 00:42:06,38
a month one month less one
day that was huge and

412
00:42:07,86 --> 00:42:14,49
a lot of comes first the fall
it was known in years I and

413
00:42:14,50 --> 00:42:21,16
most of my people these rallies the
Jewish Islam these are looking

414
00:42:21,72 --> 00:42:28,63
tenderly to the other side when we are
talking about human rights or any

415
00:42:28,64 --> 00:42:35,21
are the height of Palestinians they don't
want to know and this is very strong when

416
00:42:35,22 --> 00:42:40,91
a person doesn't want to know something
there is no way to let him or her know

417
00:42:42,77 --> 00:42:49,37
it's so he always discretion

418
00:42:49,77 --> 00:42:54,41
in and bolted into the public and then

419
00:42:56,62 --> 00:43:02,74
a strange thing to happen
human life are not.

420
00:43:06,96 --> 00:43:13,55
So hims jetlag and I miss my Where.
Anyone here and those people

421
00:43:15,44 --> 00:43:21,98
bizarrely I mean it's cheap
Thank you you see. It's the

422
00:43:21,98 --> 00:43:28,72
same as far as I can judge because
I'm not an expert on the American

423
00:43:28,76 --> 00:43:33,72
people but here life are also very cheap.

424
00:43:35,99 --> 00:43:42,31
Not every life maybe but most life. I'm
not talking about the Lynch period which

425
00:43:42,32 --> 00:43:49,17
was not so far away historically
but commonly and this is

426
00:43:49,18 --> 00:43:55,76
why you and us Israelis
are building so very

427
00:43:55,77 --> 00:44:02,33
many huge prisons and all kinds
of solitary confinement and

428
00:44:03,61 --> 00:44:10,39
awful things that men are doing to
men or people doing to people so in

429
00:44:10,40 --> 00:44:17,38
spite of everything they said just
now this prison now this hunger

430
00:44:17,39 --> 00:44:23,86
strike. Harder had not. Manage

431
00:44:24,23 --> 00:44:30,49
in a very paradoxical way to there to make

432
00:44:30,50 --> 00:44:31,81
a secure to create

433
00:44:31,82 --> 00:44:38,33
a situation that everyone in
the government and in high

434
00:44:38,34 --> 00:44:45,22
society of Israel was anxious
to keep him alive God forbidden

435
00:44:45,23 --> 00:44:51,07
that he would die in his
hunger strike so that was

436
00:44:51,11 --> 00:44:57,47
a really interesting we didn't there we
I mean Physicians for Human Rights we

437
00:44:57,48 --> 00:45:03,05
didn't there are two white it and you well
ought to say that aloud then because we

438
00:45:03,06 --> 00:45:09,93
were afraid that it will harm the other
hunger strike hunger strikers but to

439
00:45:09,94 --> 00:45:15,40
my understanding this is very droll
and he was released not really

440
00:45:15,41 --> 00:45:22,00
a court the or no all kinds
of agreements out of

441
00:45:22,05 --> 00:45:24,18
court which is

442
00:45:24,19 --> 00:45:31,14
a shame because the court the military
called the civil court their High Court

443
00:45:31,63 --> 00:45:36,86
found all kinds of excuses
not to deal with the problem

444
00:45:39,05 --> 00:45:45,95
of administrative the tension
of the. Unbelievably bad ways

445
00:45:46,00 --> 00:45:52,95
of until Gratian so.
Then me when I think of

446
00:45:53,70 --> 00:46:00,62
all the things you're with
them. So of course there is no

447
00:46:00,63 --> 00:46:06,93
end to what I'm saying. Thank
you very very much. To

448
00:46:06,94 --> 00:46:12,45
a.

449
00:46:14,11 --> 00:46:19,14
The last time got more tone and jump from
Post thank you meant I was surprised to

450
00:46:19,15 --> 00:46:25,31
learn that. The kids are not just between

451
00:46:26,03 --> 00:46:31,60
for example the West Bank and moving into
Israel but also within the West Bank can

452
00:46:31,61 --> 00:46:38,06
you describe the situation what it's like
now for people Palestinians as opposed to

453
00:46:38,11 --> 00:46:44,84
Jewish settlers to try to move within the
West Bank itself this situation is more

454
00:46:44,85 --> 00:46:47,81
or less as it was in a way it's

455
00:46:47,82 --> 00:46:54,15
a bit bit better but in another way it's
where I was because the wall that you

456
00:46:54,16 --> 00:47:00,50
could see in the doctor. Power power point

457
00:47:00,65 --> 00:47:05,74
slides. Is eating really

458
00:47:07,09 --> 00:47:12,50
actually eating Palestinian land and

459
00:47:13,44 --> 00:47:19,99
Palestinian are good culture
because farmers cannot

460
00:47:20,03 --> 00:47:26,93
go freely to develop own
land to cultivate. Their

461
00:47:26,94 --> 00:47:33,72
trees or any kind of agriculture
they are used to do

462
00:47:33,73 --> 00:47:40,44
for ages so that was not is

463
00:47:40,45 --> 00:47:47,44
something they did not exist
eight years ago now it is

464
00:47:47,45 --> 00:47:54,18
the whole. And those children
have to wait there until the

465
00:47:54,19 --> 00:48:00,70
soldier will open the gate going
to school coming back to school

466
00:48:01,05 --> 00:48:07,58
and if the soldier. Lost his
watch or something they can wait

467
00:48:09,31 --> 00:48:16,24
if we are talking about health
or even more now home made this

468
00:48:16,25 --> 00:48:22,98
in people can in emergency
cases cannot cause

469
00:48:23,03 --> 00:48:29,87
those huge gates on the other hand so this

470
00:48:29,88 --> 00:48:30,07
is

471
00:48:30,08 --> 00:48:37,81
a really terrible on the I don't hand they
are much not much but less. Checkpoints

472
00:48:38,17 --> 00:48:44,83
with in the West Bank and
there are no checkpoints

473
00:48:45,35 --> 00:48:48,43
in the Gaza Strip Gaza Strip is

474
00:48:48,44 --> 00:48:55,30
a poison saw on the sealed
all over its borders but

475
00:48:55,71 --> 00:49:02,62
inside the Gaza Strip there are
no checkpoints anymore. It's

476
00:49:02,63 --> 00:49:09,27
condensed and they can almost Thank
you both very much for coming I

477
00:49:09,69 --> 00:49:14,42
actually live six months in the West
Bank and I worked with of course

478
00:49:14,43 --> 00:49:20,87
a lot of Palestinian and Israeli activists
My question is about. I guess sort of

479
00:49:20,91 --> 00:49:26,58
Israeli society and. You know
we knew that there were kind of

480
00:49:26,59 --> 00:49:32,69
a sort of an Occupy movement there several
months ago with you know conditions for

481
00:49:32,98 --> 00:49:37,66
Jewish Israelis not being very good we know
that you know I've heard about you know

482
00:49:37,67 --> 00:49:43,69
kind of a almost program that's
going on against Palestinians and

483
00:49:43,70 --> 00:49:50,46
a recent poll that. Was the Jewish
Israelis there their rate of racism

484
00:49:50,47 --> 00:49:56,81
against Palestinians is very high and I'm
just wondering if. You could comment

485
00:49:56,82 --> 00:50:01,69
about talk about Jewish Israeli society
and also what's going on for Palestinians

486
00:50:01,70 --> 00:50:08,17
inside Israel and you know how. I mean
what we've heard about is more repression

487
00:50:08,18 --> 00:50:13,78
people that are trying to be seen and being
illegal and so sort of how is activism

488
00:50:13,79 --> 00:50:19,01
happening and what do you see kind of
as trends within the society thinks

489
00:50:20,65 --> 00:50:27,63
these ready society. Let me say
Julie she's annoyed the society

490
00:50:29,21 --> 00:50:35,64
is on one hand to hand these
two hands. On the one hand

491
00:50:36,07 --> 00:50:42,64
becoming. Military is
to most nationalistic

492
00:50:43,23 --> 00:50:48,96
mall of Allegiance and the
Nation of these three to be

493
00:50:50,48 --> 00:50:56,76
so this is becoming more and more
I mean maybe not so very many

494
00:50:57,28 --> 00:51:04,04
more people on the side but
disfigured becoming. More water the

495
00:51:04,05 --> 00:51:10,70
more profound on the other
hand. Many of the younger

496
00:51:10,71 --> 00:51:16,66
generation the very young generation
they're on twenty up to thirty eight maybe

497
00:51:16,67 --> 00:51:23,33
a little bit more some of
them are really thinking

498
00:51:23,51 --> 00:51:28,39
young people they are not
listening to the Israeli T.V.

499
00:51:28,54 --> 00:51:35,26
Or reading most of the if any of
the newspapers and so on they're

500
00:51:35,44 --> 00:51:42,06
thinking not quoting and you can find
them in the anarchistic against the

501
00:51:42,07 --> 00:51:46,08
wall you can find them in all kinds of.

502
00:51:48,91 --> 00:51:55,25
Groups that at home working with Palestinians
young people like that are both like

503
00:51:55,33 --> 00:52:01,11
the Thai and so on they
are very very active

504
00:52:01,84 --> 00:52:08,31
especially the youngsters that
are going every Friday and every

505
00:52:08,32 --> 00:52:13,03
Friday is every fighting
to those villages.

506
00:52:15,56 --> 00:52:21,66
In bulldoze and some more
not so very many Every

507
00:52:21,100 --> 00:52:26,29
Friday there are demonstrating
that they are in a kind of

508
00:52:26,30 --> 00:52:32,66
a nonviolent the most ration but
they are getting short it either by

509
00:52:32,98 --> 00:52:38,98
always by. Guys. Still goes

510
00:52:41,58 --> 00:52:48,14
different teargas one friend of
mine was killed I mean killed

511
00:52:49,21 --> 00:52:49,70
by

512
00:52:49,77 --> 00:52:56,73
a kind kind of still feel that was
shot. Against him in his chest for

513
00:52:56,74 --> 00:53:00,43
not some short distance and he died

514
00:53:01,37 --> 00:53:08,16
a young wonderful man and. Live in
munition from time to time and so on.

515
00:53:10,56 --> 00:53:17,55
But they're not doing it for
us not so very five go we did

516
00:53:17,56 --> 00:53:24,29
that kind of an event so you know they
have they feel like over six years of the

517
00:53:24,30 --> 00:53:31,07
South and I. Won't know.
The most the nation's

518
00:53:33,16 --> 00:53:39,97
but. If I have to be you
know to to answer your

519
00:53:39,98 --> 00:53:46,04
question the situation is where the need
to was yes I'm familiar generally with the

520
00:53:46,05 --> 00:53:51,57
state of higher education in the occupied
territories of the universities that are

521
00:53:51,72 --> 00:53:58,32
sometimes closed arbitrarily and. The
students have trouble getting to and from

522
00:53:58,33 --> 00:54:00,67
class but the Specifically
if you could talk

523
00:54:00,68 --> 00:54:04,96
a little bit about education in the health
sciences are there medical schools in

524
00:54:04,97 --> 00:54:10,06
the West Bank and Gaza other other other
medical professions are people able to

525
00:54:10,52 --> 00:54:16,41
become certified and educated so that they
can serve their people and I thank you

526
00:54:16,42 --> 00:54:22,31
very much for the call. Yes I think we
have two medical schools in the West Bank

527
00:54:22,58 --> 00:54:29,55
One is located nearby Jerusalem it's
called Jerusalem University in look

528
00:54:29,56 --> 00:54:34,30
at it it's all about he says if anybody
knows what is up with these. And there we

529
00:54:34,31 --> 00:54:35,15
have also

530
00:54:35,19 --> 00:54:40,79
a medical school inside of as by the way
but the number of students in the three

531
00:54:40,80 --> 00:54:47,36
medical schools are very limited. And their
capacities may be of the three medical

532
00:54:47,37 --> 00:54:54,13
schools are very also. Very
limited as well we have an

533
00:54:54,14 --> 00:55:00,69
addition to that we have one universes
and that also educate staff nurses

534
00:55:01,52 --> 00:55:07,08
and we have many schools in the field of
practical Lester's and at the same times

535
00:55:07,09 --> 00:55:12,93
our universe does also teach you know lab
technicians political stuff and generally

536
00:55:13,48 --> 00:55:20,40
it has maybe not to do with the amount of
professionals that are in the West Bank

537
00:55:20,41 --> 00:55:26,05
and because there are more than we need
to actually and many of them are working

538
00:55:26,06 --> 00:55:32,98
enjoy them maybe the best medical services
that are provided in the region is

539
00:55:32,99 --> 00:55:37,38
considered Jordan but if you go to them and
see who are the professionals there who

540
00:55:37,39 --> 00:55:43,03
are providing this highly sophisticated
when they can you know service you find

541
00:55:43,04 --> 00:55:49,54
them Palestinians the idea that we
don't have the choice we don't have

542
00:55:50,34 --> 00:55:55,32
you know the decision we are. Locked in

543
00:55:55,33 --> 00:56:00,42
a way and we don't have the ability to
build our own infrastructure and to build

544
00:56:00,43 --> 00:56:05,25
our own future this is the problem
the problem in a sense is

545
00:56:05,29 --> 00:56:11,48
a political one is denying Palestinians
for their political and civil rights this

546
00:56:11,49 --> 00:56:17,90
is the basis of the problem I'd
like to ask questions like. It ties

547
00:56:18,28 --> 00:56:24,76
what's happening in Palestine Israel with
the United States and specifically Dr

548
00:56:24,88 --> 00:56:31,59
Martin you referred to prisoners and
spoke about life being cheap and I

549
00:56:31,60 --> 00:56:35,67
thought I heard you say maybe that that's
the case here in the United States as

550
00:56:35,68 --> 00:56:38,51
well. Certainly I could give you

551
00:56:38,52 --> 00:56:43,04
a lot of I could support that statement
but I wasn't sure if that's exactly what

552
00:56:43,05 --> 00:56:46,75
you were saying but if you could
talk about you know compare the U.S.

553
00:56:46,75 --> 00:56:52,85
. Access to health care systems in Israel
Palestine to access in the United States

554
00:56:52,86 --> 00:56:59,08
if you can and then also Dr. You talk about
access and obstruction to health care

555
00:56:59,09 --> 00:57:06,08
resources both of you could comment on
that access and maybe if do you see it

556
00:57:06,09 --> 00:57:12,20
mirrored here in the United States and.
What they respond to him that maybe they

557
00:57:12,21 --> 00:57:19,07
are learning too much from each other.
Not too much from each other too much

558
00:57:19,44 --> 00:57:25,71
fun demand I can kind of the regime
and understanding them behaving

559
00:57:26,33 --> 00:57:32,11
and he's really the kind of
little America to my guide civil

560
00:57:33,05 --> 00:57:39,10
because I'm an only lady as you can see
and I was there before many called was

561
00:57:39,11 --> 00:57:45,98
there I mean in Palestine you
find. It with the fine. And so

562
00:57:45,99 --> 00:57:52,88
much for the better you know Nancy
yes. I think I agree with you

563
00:57:52,89 --> 00:57:59,87
there are. So. I think I.
Just agree with you that

564
00:57:59,88 --> 00:58:04,56
there are many commonalities when it comes
you know the situation as well Palestine

565
00:58:04,60 --> 00:58:11,37
and what's happening in the United
States with regard to. Maybe the

566
00:58:11,38 --> 00:58:15,60
question of access because whenever we
talk about access in our country we're

567
00:58:15,61 --> 00:58:20,79
talking about factors that are affecting
access merely These are political factors

568
00:58:20,80 --> 00:58:26,00
but at the same time we're talking about
social factors that also affecting access

569
00:58:26,04 --> 00:58:32,26
access to health care in terms of social
income inequalities and not because of the

570
00:58:32,27 --> 00:58:35,72
occupation but also because of
the injustices inside this was

571
00:58:35,73 --> 00:58:41,30
a it is in our case as well but in the
United States when we talk about access it's

572
00:58:41,31 --> 00:58:47,32
very important also to mention that in
social inequalities in the United States are

573
00:58:47,33 --> 00:58:54,14
very much visible and the quality
care. Is not you know it's

574
00:58:54,15 --> 00:59:00,97
not easy to get by all Americans and
this was this spirit in and your society

575
00:59:00,98 --> 00:59:01,33
for

576
00:59:01,34 --> 00:59:06,56
a long time and it will continue to be so
although we know that there have been some

577
00:59:06,57 --> 00:59:11,42
changes in the distance of this respect
but the commonality here the issue of

578
00:59:11,46 --> 00:59:18,28
access yes both in our case and in your
case and it has to do with the you know

579
00:59:19,09 --> 00:59:24,90
one phenomena which is the social
phenomena to access health care and.

580
00:59:27,44 --> 00:59:33,92
Maybe one thing more. I think
that you heard me quite could.

581
00:59:34,97 --> 00:59:41,67
And. Maybe it's really. Hard to say

582
00:59:41,82 --> 00:59:46,69
it and hard to hear it but there is

583
00:59:46,73 --> 00:59:53,40
a culture of death here and in Israel and.

584
00:59:56,19 --> 01:00:02,55
And in the same time the gap
between the haves and the have

585
01:00:02,56 --> 01:00:08,69
nots are first place in the world

586
01:00:09,29 --> 01:00:13,16
use Riley and the states so it's not

587
01:00:13,20 --> 01:00:20,07
a chance that solving
many. Reasons are made in

588
01:00:20,28 --> 01:00:27,08
your country and in my country instead of

589
01:00:27,12 --> 01:00:32,93
building schools instead
of building it's kind of.

590
01:00:34,41 --> 01:00:41,33
Hospitals but not only hospitals it's the
system health system because hospitals

591
01:00:41,34 --> 01:00:46,90
that may be enough but who can get
there and who cannot get there

592
01:00:48,57 --> 01:00:55,50
so all those things to
allow Boyd about it. It's

593
01:00:55,54 --> 01:01:01,43
difficult in his short time but I really
see that they are connected to each other

594
01:01:01,43 --> 01:01:06,99
. Now who.

595
01:01:08,74 --> 01:01:14,60
Would have. The were.

596
01:01:27,25 --> 01:01:31,95
We have. A who were.

597
01:01:34,30 --> 01:01:34,78
Needed.

598
01:02:03,68 --> 01:02:07,50
Good morning Drew Sloan Baron Davis here
behind the mike at the old abuse studio

599
01:02:07,51 --> 01:02:11,73
number two in the east of the city in
the Saddam Hussein traffic the western

600
01:02:11,74 --> 01:02:15,79
entrance of the city jumping down from the
soccer of Dalton's and things are moving

601
01:02:15,80 --> 01:02:20,30
too freely in the vicinity of the Damascus
Gate and just before you go I'll just

602
01:02:20,31 --> 01:02:23,74
let you know whether Thankfully be
relatively comfortable today with

603
01:02:23,75 --> 01:02:27,99
a high of just six degrees so as I
said chill out and enjoy your day.

604
01:04:01,63 --> 01:04:07,14
Nineteen twenty three until one thousand
nine hundred forty eight. And the whole of

605
01:04:07,15 --> 01:04:12,72
Palestine fell under the British Mandate.
In one thousand nine hundred seventeen

606
01:04:13,17 --> 01:04:17,83
the British government had issued the
Balfour declaration promising the Jewish

607
01:04:17,84 --> 01:04:18,40
people

608
01:04:18,59 --> 01:04:25,57
a national home in Palestine increasing
waves of Jewish immigrants from all

609
01:04:25,58 --> 01:04:32,32
over the world especially Europe
came to Palestine tensions

610
01:04:32,35 --> 01:04:37,97
started rising between the immigrants
and native Palestinians with several

611
01:04:37,98 --> 01:04:43,57
outbreaks of violence.
The British had created

612
01:04:43,58 --> 01:04:49,70
a mess that was too big for even them to
handle so they handed over the issue of

613
01:04:49,71 --> 01:04:56,46
Palestine to the United Nations on November
twenty ninth one thousand nine hundred

614
01:04:56,47 --> 01:05:02,99
forty seven the United Nations General
Assembly voted to partition Palestine into

615
01:05:02,100 --> 01:05:08,64
Tuesday Jewish and Arab
public your name Yeah

616
01:05:09,95 --> 01:05:10,81
you know I think I'm

617
01:05:12,25 --> 01:05:18,98
a fan. You know it's very
yeah. Well prepared or

618
01:05:18,99 --> 01:05:25,62
maybe we're probably. War but
not right we're. Not. Really

619
01:05:25,63 --> 01:05:32,11
a group. Immediately there was

620
01:05:32,12 --> 01:05:37,79
celebrations within the Jewish community
in Palestine the Jewish people's dream of

621
01:05:37,80 --> 01:05:40,22
a homeland was about to become

622
01:05:40,26 --> 01:05:47,80
a reality. On

623
01:05:47,81 --> 01:05:54,36
the Arab side there was no dancing the
Palestinians would just about to lose more

624
01:05:54,37 --> 01:06:01,21
than half of that country. Demonstrations
and riots erupted all over the country

625
01:06:01,83 --> 01:06:04,07
shock despair and

626
01:06:04,08 --> 01:06:17,41
a sense of betrayal with
the dominating mood. Fifty

627
01:06:17,42 --> 01:06:22,93
six percent of the land was given to the
Jewish state and the remaining forty four

628
01:06:22,94 --> 01:06:28,96
percent allocated to the Palestinians
although at the time Jewish people in

629
01:06:28,97 --> 01:06:35,07
Palestine accounted for thirty three percent
of the population and armed only six

630
01:06:35,08 --> 01:06:41,85
percent of the land Jerusalem and Bethlehem
were designated as international

631
01:06:41,86 --> 01:06:45,53
signs to be administered
by the United Nations

632
01:06:49,84 --> 01:06:54,36
on the fourteenth of May one thousand nine
hundred forty eight the Jewish state was

633
01:06:54,37 --> 01:07:00,74
declared soon after war broke out
between Israel and its neighboring Arab

634
01:07:00,75 --> 01:07:01,51
countries.

635
01:07:09,78 --> 01:07:16,08
The Arabs lost the war and Israel had
now captured seventy eight percent of

636
01:07:16,08 --> 01:07:22,39
historical Palestine including
West Jerusalem. East Jerusalem

637
01:07:22,73 --> 01:07:29,67
including the old city remained under
the jurisdiction of Jordan. The war

638
01:07:29,82 --> 01:07:30,82
also created

639
01:07:30,86 --> 01:07:37,19
a refugee problem two thousand Jews had
to leave their homes in the Old City

640
01:07:38,19 --> 01:07:44,40
nineteen years later they would
all return. For the Palestinian

641
01:07:44,41 --> 01:07:50,66
refugees the story was different. Hundreds
of thousands of Palestinians were

642
01:07:50,70 --> 01:07:56,97
uprooted and became scattered
across the region. Some never left

643
01:07:56,98 --> 01:08:03,91
Palestine but instead became refugees
in their own country the remnants

644
01:08:03,92 --> 01:08:09,50
of many of their villages and homes still
stand today bearing witness to that

645
01:08:09,51 --> 01:08:16,05
tragedy. A long and painful chapter in the

646
01:08:16,06 --> 01:08:22,26
history of the Jewish people was just about
to be closed and the long and painful

647
01:08:22,27 --> 01:08:26,92
chapter in the history of the
Palestinian people was just about.

648
01:08:39,29 --> 01:08:43,46
In March one thousand nine hundred forty
nine Jordan and Israel signed the

649
01:08:43,47 --> 01:08:46,72
armistice lines agreement
to form what is now

650
01:08:46,73 --> 01:08:52,61
a days referred to as the green line it
gets its name from the green pencil that

651
01:08:52,62 --> 01:08:58,69
was used by the Israeli general mushy
Dyan the Israeli side of the green line

652
01:08:58,88 --> 01:09:03,33
includes the captured seventy eight
percent of historical Palestine

653
01:09:07,01 --> 01:09:13,73
Jerusalem now stood divided between east
and west sniper's positions were mounted

654
01:09:13,77 --> 01:09:19,76
along the dividing line Jews were not
allowed to visit the Western Wall and

655
01:09:19,77 --> 01:09:24,73
Palestinian refugees were not allowed to
return to their homes in West Jerusalem

656
01:09:25,43 --> 01:09:31,11
according to the census I myself conducted
in nineteen sixty seven there were ten

657
01:09:31,12 --> 01:09:37,52
thousand Palestinians in
is your seven that were

658
01:09:37,53 --> 01:09:41,47
born in west Georgia look not only general

659
01:09:41,48 --> 01:09:48,43
a few people actually were born
so you say about one in five it

660
01:09:48,44 --> 01:09:51,21
is yours alone was

661
01:09:51,40 --> 01:09:57,76
a displaced person for the same city
think about the emotional burden of that

662
01:09:58,74 --> 01:10:03,86
this is my house I'm good with. That.

663
01:10:05,40 --> 01:10:11,78
Circulating among your family it
was on the up stairs. Because

664
01:10:12,52 --> 01:10:19,48
my father. Leaving the house my father
left I think the very last day the

665
01:10:19,49 --> 01:10:22,89
very very last day and he carried with him

666
01:10:23,47 --> 01:10:30,27
a tablecloth. And I remember when
my mother was packing and she was

667
01:10:30,28 --> 01:10:36,27
adding it was she was adding some winter
clothes for the kids and my father was

668
01:10:36,28 --> 01:10:43,17
shouting Don't take too much luggage
you're to be back in two weeks when

669
01:10:43,62 --> 01:10:47,81
we're in two thousand and seven. Zero zero
zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero

670
01:10:47,86 --> 01:10:54,36
zero zero to this shift gears here is the
original door and if you go up. You can

671
01:10:54,77 --> 01:10:57,06
go and. Take

672
01:10:57,07 --> 01:11:03,96
a picture of the staircase you
can go I don't mind. We have two

673
01:11:03,97 --> 01:11:10,76
entrances to the house. This gate is
still getting the gate they added

674
01:11:10,77 --> 01:11:15,11
nothing in fact the trees
the trees are the same.

675
01:11:19,33 --> 01:11:25,64
Tree is the same. So I continued
tree is the same I do

676
01:11:26,20 --> 01:11:27,72
not go to the but God.

677
01:11:40,19 --> 01:11:44,21
You pick up the music this was not
the music played when we where.

678
01:11:50,92 --> 01:11:51,88
I will you take

679
01:11:51,89 --> 01:11:57,44
a picture of these people out of the new
tenants and the real people of this if you

680
01:11:57,44 --> 01:12:01,98
. Like you are going to be.

681
01:12:11,12 --> 01:12:14,77
He just look at us and say
What are they doing here

682
01:12:19,62 --> 01:12:26,37
we live in fantasy they live in
denial and one day we should both

683
01:12:26,38 --> 01:12:33,23
come to reality. And the solution
is in fairness fair is fair

684
01:12:33,24 --> 01:12:39,67
for both sides. I deserve to
go back and live in our house

685
01:12:44,31 --> 01:12:50,62
. Finished.

686
01:12:52,68 --> 01:12:52,95
And that's.

687
01:13:18,43 --> 01:13:18,66
What.

688
01:13:35,15 --> 01:13:36,97
Nine hundred sixty seven was

689
01:13:36,98 --> 01:13:43,13
a fateful turning point for Jerusalem the
cradle of holiness added another chapter

690
01:13:43,33 --> 01:13:49,88
to its long and bloody history
after six days of intense fighting

691
01:13:50,40 --> 01:13:56,13
the whole of Palestine including all of
Jerusalem fell into the hands of Israel

692
01:14:00,11 --> 01:14:04,94
hundreds of thousands of Palestinians
joined the refugees of one thousand nine

693
01:14:04,96 --> 01:14:07,72
hundred forty eight in
surrounding countries.

694
01:14:11,73 --> 01:14:18,57
Lembit with was completely broken only
by the WHO was busing. His bus where

695
01:14:18,76 --> 01:14:24,62
they have buses at the mosque.
Calling for people for free I. For.

696
01:14:26,01 --> 01:14:32,97
My father said. I've heard I've learned
that one but I would not be the

697
01:14:33,14 --> 01:14:38,44
mystic I would not leave the roots of them
more of my family would be to do with it

698
01:14:38,45 --> 01:14:45,15
in the rules of him what is
the cost loss of the. US of A

699
01:14:45,17 --> 01:14:45,93
war for

700
01:14:46,10 --> 01:14:52,61
a little. Corrupt White House
and suck up of the buffalo.

701
01:14:53,98 --> 01:15:00,61
With the rector looking like the
defeat of one nine hundred sixty seven

702
01:15:00,67 --> 01:15:06,94
shocked the Arab world the loss of Jerusalem
and the images of the destruction of

703
01:15:06,95 --> 01:15:13,89
the Arab armies at the hands of Israel
with too much to handle Meanwhile

704
01:15:14,25 --> 01:15:19,83
Israel became intoxicated by its victory
and its new found position of power in the

705
01:15:19,84 --> 01:15:26,79
region the days weeks and months that
followed started to reveal more and

706
01:15:26,80 --> 01:15:33,19
more of Israel's intentions and plans
for Jerusalem Israel wanted to

707
01:15:33,20 --> 01:15:38,25
ensure that its conquest of
Jerusalem would be the final one

708
01:15:40,78 --> 01:15:45,78
the Palestinian mother to be quarter in the
Old City was the first to meet the new

709
01:15:45,79 --> 01:15:51,99
occupier the decision was made to
destroy it and to expel its six hundred

710
01:15:52,00 --> 01:15:58,99
inhabitants to make way for the western
wall Plaza when they started they

711
01:15:59,00 --> 01:15:59,83
want to bring them over

712
01:15:59,84 --> 01:16:05,55
a quarter in the old city I saw that
they call it their way out of Jerusalem

713
01:16:06,06 --> 01:16:12,61
assisters their own business they are
being and others rushing to that quarter

714
01:16:13,38 --> 01:16:19,05
and making sure that the order would be
implemented now without any delay I said

715
01:16:19,06 --> 01:16:25,90
when I think about it today there
were many excuses that I can bring

716
01:16:25,90 --> 01:16:31,67
out you see they have the price to be paid
for the fact that children of the Lot of

717
01:16:31,68 --> 01:16:37,82
all forced or. Days after the occupation
of the city the boundaries of East

718
01:16:37,83 --> 01:16:44,46
Jerusalem were expanded from six to
seventy square kilometers stripping

719
01:16:44,47 --> 01:16:50,89
twenty eight surrounding Palestinian villages
of their agricultural lands populous

720
01:16:50,90 --> 01:16:57,50
Palestinian neighborhoods such as abilities
as City Year has now under were pushed

721
01:16:57,54 --> 01:17:04,20
outside the new boundary and forty percent
of the expanded land was designated as

722
01:17:04,21 --> 01:17:10,64
green areas off limits for Palestinian
Housing and Development squeezing the

723
01:17:10,65 --> 01:17:17,50
Palestinians in Jerusalem into only
thirteen percent of their land soon

724
01:17:17,51 --> 01:17:22,45
after the new boundaries of the city
were the next to the state of Israel and

725
01:17:22,46 --> 01:17:28,40
Jerusalem was declared the eternal capital
of the Jewish state and the where was

726
01:17:28,41 --> 01:17:34,89
she to know I'm sure support. Israel are

727
01:17:34,89 --> 01:17:41,55
a. Shame. To let the

728
01:17:41,56 --> 01:17:47,15
bears out of. Maximum land and
many more people they wanted

729
01:17:47,16 --> 01:17:49,13
a capital that would have

730
01:17:49,17 --> 01:17:54,45
a Jewish majority but that would also
be fairly large in size so you see the

731
01:17:54,46 --> 01:17:59,92
phenomenon again and again along the
borders of the municipality where Arab

732
01:17:59,93 --> 01:18:06,11
villages are just outside the city limits
but their lands are inside following the

733
01:18:06,12 --> 01:18:08,51
annexation Israel conducted

734
01:18:08,55 --> 01:18:15,01
a census of the city only Palestinians who
were present at the time were issued an

735
01:18:15,02 --> 01:18:21,78
ID card making them residents of the
city. Israeli citizenship was offered to

736
01:18:21,79 --> 01:18:27,90
these Palestinians in East Jerusalem if
they met certain conditions including

737
01:18:27,91 --> 01:18:33,25
swearing allegiance to the state of Israel
proving they were not citizens of any

738
01:18:33,26 --> 01:18:40,21
other country and demonstrating some knowledge
of Hebrew most Palestinians were not

739
01:18:40,25 --> 01:18:46,33
interested they consider us as if we as
tourists the two hundred fifty thousand

740
01:18:46,35 --> 01:18:52,45
that is the unions it isn't as if they are
the wrists deemed to Israel and settled

741
01:18:52,47 --> 01:18:57,86
there. Is that it is out of the raping
their existence but there are these demise

742
01:18:57,86 --> 01:19:03,77
in their existence the law governing
residency is called the law for entry into

743
01:19:03,77 --> 01:19:09,40
Israel so it's obviously completely
inappropriate to apply this law to Easter as

744
01:19:09,40 --> 01:19:14,90
some Palestinians they did not enter Israel
Israel came to them and acts the area

745
01:19:14,90 --> 01:19:21,47
where they had been living maybe for
generations and then imposed Israeli law on

746
01:19:21,49 --> 01:19:27,55
them including the citizenship and entry
into Israel law by the end of one thousand

747
01:19:27,56 --> 01:19:33,51
nine hundred sixty seven Israel had complete
control over the land and its people

748
01:19:34,29 --> 01:19:40,96
it was time to put its policy to work
the game in Jerusalem was the MacGuffin

749
01:19:41,72 --> 01:19:46,68
is that our inability was directed their
words the land they needed the land to

750
01:19:46,69 --> 01:19:51,95
build settlements to create further on
the ground who are used demographic

751
01:19:51,96 --> 01:19:56,52
superiority confiscating land
from the Palestinian speak aim

752
01:19:56,53 --> 01:20:00,19
a regular practice Israel's desire for

753
01:20:00,20 --> 01:20:03,63
a large Jewish capital in Jerusalem led to

754
01:20:03,64 --> 01:20:09,73
a massive land grab Palestinians resisted
the theft of their lands and the

755
01:20:09,74 --> 01:20:14,34
destruction of their lives but
the bulldozers was stronger.

756
01:20:18,58 --> 01:20:25,58
The confiscated lands soon became harm to
massive settlement projects in new East

757
01:20:25,62 --> 01:20:32,40
Jerusalem by nine hundred sixty nine the
first Israeli families moved into remarked

758
01:20:32,40 --> 01:20:39,35
. Israel's first settlement in East
Jerusalem the war of facts on the

759
01:20:39,36 --> 01:20:46,17
ground and demographic balance was
underway home construction in

760
01:20:46,18 --> 01:20:52,77
East Jerusalem was booming but it's not
for everyone for a Palestinian to obtain

761
01:20:52,78 --> 01:20:55,26
a building permit he must go through

762
01:20:55,30 --> 01:21:01,95
a long and costly process which can
sometimes take up to ten years and

763
01:21:01,96 --> 01:21:07,68
sometimes the cost of the permit is more
than the cost of the building itself

764
01:21:08,48 --> 01:21:11,26
forcing the Palestinians to build without

765
01:21:11,30 --> 01:21:17,55
a permit and when they do the
Israeli police and bulldozers await

766
01:21:17,78 --> 01:21:18,43
the.

767
01:21:32,65 --> 01:21:35,75

The hunt for the fault is sort of
valid. Although my fish out of

I the group here are MANY it at that.

Membership the right one but I'm appreciating
the circus rider member I'll let me

01:23:56,67 --> 01:24:01,30
know if you say if I'm legit
but then he and I must.

783
01:24:03,90 --> 01:24:04,74
Have looked them apart.

784
01:24:11,20 --> 01:24:17,41
Room. Filled with everybody
and I mean if you're going on

785
01:24:17,42 --> 01:24:21,12

Was was.

788
01:24:41,49 --> 01:24:41,62
Not

789
01:24:41,63 --> 01:24:48,69
a hint of. A lot. Older to be
you know him and. Some didn't

790
01:24:48,70 --> 01:24:48,92
isn't.

791
01:24:55,10 --> 01:25:02,02
The. Film was that the and by the way.

792
01:25:06,10 --> 01:25:07,56
It was

793
01:25:07,57 --> 01:25:17,56
a scene I haven't seen on and
there was. Nothing I was. On

794
01:25:17,57 --> 01:25:23,21
the roof had to be made or whatever
unless what the appear to have.

795
01:25:32,95 --> 01:25:35,41
Only. One thing to do.

796
01:25:44,63 --> 01:25:50,87
In the little one is that it and. Then
the boot the men's and the men of.

797
01:25:53,39 --> 01:26:00,36
The young in nothing more. Than.
One hundred for the. B.M.

First with them Bill Ron Paul B.

799
01:26:03,81 --> 01:26:04,37
I will admit.

800
01:26:20,35 --> 01:26:25,65
I am demolition is one component of
Israel's demographic policy that has been

801
01:26:25,66 --> 01:26:32,62
tossed to the Israeli Ministry of Interior
this ministry dominates every aspect of

802
01:26:32,63 --> 01:26:39,16
Palestinian daily life destroying their
homes confiscating their I.D.'s and

803
01:26:39,17 --> 01:26:41,98
denying them the right to live together as

804
01:26:41,99 --> 01:26:47,30
a family in the Sudan as well if we show
it out on them so now you're monitoring

805
01:26:47,50 --> 01:26:52,24
the security fences here you have
consciously in your head and a chef

806
01:26:52,25 --> 01:26:58,92
a joy to be on. Family unification is
another tool used to drive Palestinians

807
01:26:58,96 --> 01:27:03,78
out of Jerusalem Michele

808
01:27:04,22 --> 01:27:07,62
a Palestinian from Bethlehem
is married to come and

809
01:27:08,18 --> 01:27:15,09
a Palestinian from Jerusalem common and
Michele a fighting to stay together as

810
01:27:15,10 --> 01:27:19,64
a family a Palestinian
from Jerusalem who marries

811
01:27:19,65 --> 01:27:23,44
a Palestinian from outside you
recently has to go through

812
01:27:23,45 --> 01:27:30,40
a process which Israel cools
family unification this involves

813
01:27:30,45 --> 01:27:36,01
applying to the Ministry of Interior to
grant your spouse to mission to live with

814
01:27:36,02 --> 01:27:42,79
you in Jerusalem. When our
sentiments are was enough

815
01:27:43,80 --> 01:27:49,96
imagine. Them at. My fish well.

816
01:27:54,08 --> 01:27:55,56
There. Is

moment. Even though you're there what. I

819
01:28:10,26 --> 01:28:15,91
would that. Be so fun Amish.

Palestinian from Easter Islam marries

821
01:28:20,29 --> 01:28:24,29
a Palestinian from Ramallah there's no
place they can legally live together the

822
01:28:24,30 --> 01:28:28,97
Easter Islam I should not be living in
Ramallah officially and there are Mullah

823
01:28:29,23 --> 01:28:34,68
resident is not allowed to live inside
Jerusalem that is not acceptable that is not

824
01:28:34,69 --> 01:28:41,62
acceptable because because this
is part of our human rights that

825
01:28:41,66 --> 01:28:46,34
everyone has the right to marry
this power he or she wants.

826
01:28:48,70 --> 01:28:49,48
And right to them.

01:30:23,53 --> 01:30:29,75
one thousand nine hundred forty eight
today it's less than two percent and is

841
01:30:29,76 --> 01:30:32,07
shrinking at an alarming pace.

842
01:30:36,33 --> 01:30:42,92
Since one hundred sixty seven immigration
was excellent and we are worth it

843
01:30:43,58 --> 01:30:49,99
because the recent statistics they say that
the main reasons for the immigration of

844
01:30:50,00 --> 01:30:55,61
Christians and Jews from Jerusalem
is the unstable political situation.

845
01:30:57,05 --> 01:31:02,62
It's the occupation is the difficult
the difficult you know the comic life

846
01:31:03,97 --> 01:31:10,45
so people opt to leave. Even
though it's Christmas time

847
01:31:10,97 --> 01:31:12,95
the Christian quarter stands as

848
01:31:12,96 --> 01:31:19,92
a shadow of its former self when one of
our schools the model of we us the you

849
01:31:19,93 --> 01:31:21,68
know one of the odd teachers the make

850
01:31:21,69 --> 01:31:27,42
a survey and we were surprised to find
that it the percent of order to live with

851
01:31:27,43 --> 01:31:33,78
not ever and the reason why
I'm the one. With the.

852
01:31:35,46 --> 01:31:41,85
Thing the. The.

853
01:31:45,48 --> 01:31:50,83
The occupation has forced many Palestinians
to leave their country in search of

854
01:31:50,84 --> 01:31:57,33
a better life elsewhere those who choose
not to join in the exodus like Michelle

855
01:31:57,34 --> 01:32:04,14
and Common have to pay the heavy
price just to stay together. For now

856
01:32:04,68 --> 01:32:11,58
common sweetie trips between Jerusalem
and Bethlehem will continue the

857
01:32:11,59 --> 01:32:17,52
hierarchy of. The.

858
01:32:26,36 --> 01:32:31,26
High is to marry. Is that.

859
01:32:34,62 --> 01:32:37,85
The surface on. The ocean years are.

860
01:32:56,39 --> 01:33:03,11
No. You

861
01:33:03,39 --> 01:33:03,84
know you.

862
01:33:20,82 --> 01:33:22,43
Well Palestinians deal with

863
01:33:22,44 --> 01:33:28,46
a demographic policy that aims to contain
their growth in the cities Palestinian

864
01:33:28,47 --> 01:33:29,09
lands

865
01:33:29,27 --> 01:33:35,59
a subject to wave after wave of land
confiscation for settlement building leaving

866
01:33:35,60 --> 01:33:42,33
the Palestinians with no room to develop
or to live for most Palestinians

867
01:33:42,72 --> 01:33:48,73
land is their most significant possession
and is passed on from generation to

868
01:33:48,74 --> 01:33:55,54
generation. Day inherited the family home

869
01:33:55,55 --> 01:34:01,47
from his father he never got the chance
to enjoy his inheritance because Israel

870
01:34:01,48 --> 01:34:05,54
decided to confiscate the land
around his house to build

871
01:34:05,55 --> 01:34:12,12
a new settlement the land that was
confiscated belonged to his village L G

872
01:34:12,64 --> 01:34:19,41
A suburb of Jerusalem today it is
physically separated from its confiscated

873
01:34:19,42 --> 01:34:24,89
lands so far day to reach his village
or his house he has to go through

874
01:34:24,90 --> 01:34:28,31
a checkpoint one hundred
meters from his front door.

875
01:34:33,71 --> 01:34:39,90
Loveman. Loss for the had the
sort. Of Luck of the shot

876
01:34:39,91 --> 01:34:43,21
a celebration. Of the young son

877
01:34:43,22 --> 01:34:47,10
a. Soldier bottom of the sea for Sheikh.

878
01:34:52,25 --> 01:34:56,52
And there with food. Because.

879
01:34:59,40 --> 01:35:06,22
Of the houses in. The boundary
of the shanty most of

880
01:35:06,23 --> 01:35:12,51
them with water of give. Them sort of more
out of the body with that idea and with

881
01:35:12,52 --> 01:35:17,81
it on the wall when I. Want
them a little joke and

882
01:35:17,82 --> 01:35:22,72
a headline I like the animal and the head
but I have to leave it that you haven't

883
01:35:22,73 --> 01:35:27,77
read the help that. They can
leave. Out of the relativity of

884
01:35:27,78 --> 01:35:34,43
a vacuum at the county in these really
mind the problem is the more graphic the

885
01:35:34,44 --> 01:35:40,26
more graphic there are
present as a community

886
01:35:40,30 --> 01:35:46,92
a different community which express
in different ways on their daily

887
01:35:46,93 --> 01:35:50,56
basis there that they are different.

888
01:35:54,47 --> 01:35:58,59
Than the sort. Of assume one of
the couple in the can if the.

889
01:36:01,82 --> 01:36:02,32
Only That's

890
01:36:02,33 --> 01:36:09,53
a hell. Of. A

891
01:36:09,54 --> 01:36:14,62
narrow haircut was going on in. Those.

892
01:36:17,61 --> 01:36:23,24
Days story is not unique it is the
story of the Palestinians in Jerusalem

893
01:36:23,95 --> 01:36:30,09
confined harassed and cut from the rest
of their people in one thousand nine

894
01:36:30,09 --> 01:36:32,77
hundred ninety three Israel instituted

895
01:36:32,81 --> 01:36:39,24
a closure policy on Jerusalem prohibiting
to this day over three million

896
01:36:39,26 --> 01:36:45,89
Palestinians from entering Jerusalem
this also happened to be the year that

897
01:36:45,93 --> 01:36:52,31
Israel signed the Oslo peace agreement
with the Palestinians. The impact of the

898
01:36:52,32 --> 01:36:58,53
closure of Jerusalem has been devastating
particularly given the only specialized

899
01:36:58,54 --> 01:37:05,52
hospitals in Palestine are located in East
Jerusalem Palestinians outside of the

900
01:37:05,53 --> 01:37:11,12
city seeking medical treatment must go
through an endless process to request

901
01:37:11,16 --> 01:37:16,35
Israeli approval to enter Jerusalem after

902
01:37:16,36 --> 01:37:21,16
a long battle with the Israeli authorities
the old gust of Victoria Hospital

903
01:37:21,44 --> 01:37:24,24
managed to secure a bus permit to bring

904
01:37:24,25 --> 01:37:31,09
a group of children in need of kidney
dialysis into Jerusalem in some cases

905
01:37:31,43 --> 01:37:37,89
permits were only given to the children
but not the parents' children as young as

906
01:37:37,90 --> 01:37:41,48
six years old must make
the journey three times

907
01:37:41,49 --> 01:37:45,95
a week from all over the
West Bank alone without

908
01:37:45,96 --> 01:37:51,96
a mother to hold their hand this is what
this is creating anger it is because the

909
01:37:51,97 --> 01:37:58,63
basics of life for the Palestinian mother
is is is being violated if the other

910
01:37:58,64 --> 01:38:04,86
cannot work up with dignity and I insist
with dignity escort her child to buy less

911
01:38:04,87 --> 01:38:09,71
assertion the whole family will be an angry
family and once there is anger when you

912
01:38:09,72 --> 01:38:16,70
don't know how to control any political
outcome Jerusalem is also home to the Al

913
01:38:16,72 --> 01:38:23,17
Aqsa Mosque and the holy sepak. Millions
of Palestinians have been deprived of the

914
01:38:23,18 --> 01:38:26,47
right to worship and
visit their holy places.

915
01:39:39,72 --> 01:39:41,93
That the.

916
01:39:55,51 --> 01:39:59,47
Many. Checked. To make it.

917
01:40:04,96 --> 01:40:05,27
Because.

918
01:40:31,71 --> 01:40:38,56
But at the end of the song just gave up

919
01:40:38,64 --> 01:40:45,43
and decided to go back home and like
every American just below. That some

920
01:40:45,52 --> 01:40:51,62
got ready to have their Friday prayers at
the checkpoint. And the lucky ones made

921
01:40:51,63 --> 01:40:57,74
it on to the boss and were on their way
to chew and swallow. The the moon the.

922
01:41:02,55 --> 01:41:08,72
Moon the. Moon the.

923
01:41:09,92 --> 01:41:14,96
Moon. The moon the. Moon the for the.

924
01:41:16,94 --> 01:41:17,97
The the.

925
01:41:26,18 --> 01:41:33,09
The the. The Japanese. Now they
have to go through another

926
01:41:33,10 --> 01:41:40,01
round of checkpoints in and around the
old city some were pulled aside and were

927
01:41:40,02 --> 01:41:41,36
arrested for not having

928
01:41:41,37 --> 01:41:48,32
a punt and switching recently the
time is running out and if you

929
01:41:48,33 --> 01:41:52,86
haven't reached your Resulin
by now it's for this Friday.

930
01:41:54,81 --> 01:41:59,07
Was there was.

931
01:42:16,19 --> 01:42:19,15
There was the urge to.

932
01:42:29,06 --> 01:42:32,56
Her any.

933
01:42:37,45 --> 01:42:38,15
Of the.

934
01:43:03,57 --> 01:43:08,61
The checkpoints along with the settlements
were created to physically cuts

935
01:43:08,62 --> 01:43:14,78
Jerusalem from its motherland in the West
Bank the project that Israel began in one

936
01:43:14,79 --> 01:43:19,99
thousand nine hundred sixty seven has
started to bear fruit twenty three

937
01:43:19,99 --> 01:43:26,88
settlements and twelve checkpoints exist
in what Israel now calls greater Jerusalem

938
01:43:28,04 --> 01:43:34,18
Israel's objective to cuts Jerusalem from
the West Bank and to create irreversible

939
01:43:34,20 --> 01:43:41,13
facts on the ground is working settlements
now or Q Python thirty five percent of

940
01:43:41,14 --> 01:43:47,08
East Jerusalem as land and account for
more than seventy percent of the growth of

941
01:43:47,09 --> 01:43:54,01
the Jewish population in Jerusalem Jerusalem
is indeed the front line and the heart

942
01:43:54,17 --> 01:43:56,59
of the Palestinian Israeli conflict

943
01:44:01,34 --> 01:44:07,87
if Jerusalem is the heart of the conflict
the Old City is the heart of Jerusalem

944
01:44:08,74 --> 01:44:15,47
the most fought over square kilometer
in history home to the Western Wall the

945
01:44:15,48 --> 01:44:22,33
Church of the holy sepals the Al Aqsa
Mosque and the dime of the rock every

946
01:44:22,39 --> 01:44:29,19
inch of this place is holy sixty five
churches twenty five mosques and

947
01:44:29,20 --> 01:44:31,67
nineteen synagogues in less than

948
01:44:31,68 --> 01:44:43,04
a square kilometer. If

949
01:44:43,06 --> 01:44:49,47
Jerusalem is the heart of the conflict and
the old city the heart of Jerusalem then

950
01:44:49,51 --> 01:44:56,28
this place is the heart of the matter.
To the Jews it is the Temple Mount

951
01:44:56,76 --> 01:45:02,79
the site where their first and second
temples stood and it is also the site where

952
01:45:02,80 --> 01:45:09,08
many Jews believe the third and final
temple should be rebuilt for the

953
01:45:09,09 --> 01:45:11,63
Muslims it's the Ox

954
01:45:11,64 --> 01:45:18,10
a mosque and the Dome of the rock for the
last one thousand five hundred years

955
01:45:18,49 --> 01:45:20,31
Muslims have called it how them

956
01:45:20,35 --> 01:45:25,16
a Shareef where Mohammad
ascended to heaven to meet God

957
01:45:28,26 --> 01:45:33,65
The battle for control over the old city
is different to the rest of Jerusalem

958
01:45:34,58 --> 01:45:37,76
there is no room within the
old city walls to build

959
01:45:37,77 --> 01:45:43,61
a huge settlement to play with its
demography So the battle here is over the

960
01:45:43,62 --> 01:45:47,87
existing homes of Palestinian
Christians and Muslims

961
01:45:53,34 --> 01:45:54,97
a tad Carney is

962
01:45:54,98 --> 01:46:01,29
a leading settler organization its main
objective is to change the demographic

963
01:46:01,30 --> 01:46:08,10
makeup of the old city by repossessing
homes from Palestinians these homes

964
01:46:08,36 --> 01:46:11,100
marked by Israeli flags
can easily be spotted

965
01:46:17,49 --> 01:46:22,83
the settlers are infiltrating the Muslim
and Christian courters although not

966
01:46:22,84 --> 01:46:27,98
a single Muslim or Christian family is
allowed to live in the Jewish Quarter

967
01:46:30,00 --> 01:46:35,67
the Palestinians are aware of the targets
going names intentions but the settlers

968
01:46:35,72 --> 01:46:41,82
have very powerful allies on their side
including the Israeli government along with

969
01:46:41,83 --> 01:46:46,38
substantial funds from right wing
Christian groups in the U. S.

970
01:46:47,93 --> 01:46:51,02
In one thousand nine hundred eighty
seven the settlers recruited

971
01:46:51,06 --> 01:46:55,39
a powerful neighbor Arielle
Sharon who repossessed

972
01:46:55,43 --> 01:46:59,76
a house in the Muslim quarter.
SHARAN has never spent

973
01:46:59,77 --> 01:47:05,04
a night in this house but has left no
doubt about his support for the settlers.

974
01:47:06,27 --> 01:47:12,46
The the settlers are indeed
powerful and connected

975
01:47:13,38 --> 01:47:17,71
and every year they get the chance to
parade their power when they march in

976
01:47:17,72 --> 01:47:24,47
Jerusalem to celebrate what they call
the unification of Jerusalem this

977
01:47:24,48 --> 01:47:31,15
year they are celebrating their fortieth
anniversary Ironically this is the day

978
01:47:31,19 --> 01:47:34,13
when Jerusalem looks as divided as ever

979
01:47:35,38 --> 01:47:40,77
a massive police presence flood's the city
so that the settlers can march in and

980
01:47:40,78 --> 01:47:46,48
around the old city the old city
is shut down and the Palestinians

981
01:47:46,52 --> 01:47:52,97
a kept under curfew no one is allowed
to enter only until the marches are.

982
01:47:54,96 --> 01:48:00,84
Thank you Aoun was

983
01:48:01,23 --> 01:48:08,01
yanked there are glass walls
with the way in the communities

984
01:48:08,44 --> 01:48:12,16
we do not have the same education system
we don't have the same guns but there's no

985
01:48:12,17 --> 01:48:17,61
system with don't share the same language
we've gone to work at the same places

986
01:48:17,62 --> 01:48:21,82
with. The communities have

987
01:48:21,86 --> 01:48:28,34
a separate city centers business centers
services almost everything is divided

988
01:48:28,53 --> 01:48:35,04
the the Israeli demographic
policy has brought

989
01:48:35,08 --> 01:48:39,31
nothing but misery and despair
to the Palestinians and

990
01:48:39,32 --> 01:48:46,23
a sense of insecurity to the Israelis
after forty years Israel and

991
01:48:46,24 --> 01:48:52,58
its settler organizations are losing the
war of demography especially where it

992
01:48:52,59 --> 01:48:59,29
matters most the old city. The
population of the Old City is

993
01:48:59,30 --> 01:49:06,08
thirty five thousand of which Palestinians
make up over ninety percent the

994
01:49:06,09 --> 01:49:12,17
Palestinian high birth rate has kept the
Palestinian population growing they have

995
01:49:12,18 --> 01:49:19,01
been squeezed into every available space
but they are not leaving Jerusalem and

996
01:49:19,02 --> 01:49:22,58
according to Jerusalem
municipality figures in

997
01:49:22,60 --> 01:49:28,78
a little over twenty years Palestinians
will make up fifty percent of the city's

998
01:49:28,79 --> 01:49:35,54
population. At the same time
Jewish population growth keeps

999
01:49:35,56 --> 01:49:42,27
declining for the last twenty years
more Jews have left the city than have

1000
01:49:42,28 --> 01:49:46,53
entered it for secular Jews Jerusalem is

1001
01:49:46,54 --> 01:49:53,21
a tense intolerant poor overly
religious and divided city

1002
01:49:53,85 --> 01:49:59,79
we left people ready so many people are
voting by the legs and Fords to simply walk

1003
01:49:59,80 --> 01:50:04,36
out of the city the Palestinian
demographic growth has been

1004
01:50:04,37 --> 01:50:11,19
a problem for Israel from day one Israeli
politicians openly describe it as

1005
01:50:11,20 --> 01:50:17,92
a biological bomb growth cancer and
fertility weapon so what do they do

1006
01:50:18,77 --> 01:50:19,84
they build a wall

1007
01:50:20,60 --> 01:50:26,68
a nine metre high wall that segregates the
city's neighborhoods based on ethnic and

1008
01:50:26,68 --> 01:50:29,06
religious grounds which pushes

1009
01:50:29,10 --> 01:50:36,03
a quarter of the Palestinian population
in Jerusalem outside the city measure

1010
01:50:36,04 --> 01:50:41,99
that this pair is that this right in front
of us right here was the road that used

1011
01:50:41,100 --> 01:50:48,93
to run from Jerusalem Ivan the side of the
through to Jericho. Over hundreds and

1012
01:50:48,94 --> 01:50:54,49
hundreds of years of the main road and
there are that were runs right through the

1013
01:50:54,50 --> 01:51:01,26
middle of that ride and
people. I'll come back.

1014
01:51:04,25 --> 01:51:07,17
If you ask Israel what's the
wisdom of building such

1015
01:51:07,18 --> 01:51:14,16
a wall they'll tell you it's for
security in recent years militant

1016
01:51:14,17 --> 01:51:19,33
Palestinian groups have sent thirty
eight suicide bombers to West Jerusalem

1017
01:51:19,92 --> 01:51:26,72
claiming the lives of one hundred seventy
one Israelis Jerusalem has at times

1018
01:51:27,02 --> 01:51:30,51
looked confused bloody and ugly.

1019
01:51:40,44 --> 01:51:45,80
Watching the path of the wall leaves you
with great doubts about any security logic

1020
01:51:46,52 --> 01:51:52,43
it's snaking path around the city in Cooper
rates Jewish settlements and pushes out

1021
01:51:52,46 --> 01:51:59,17
populated Palestinian neighborhoods clearly
exposing its real goal to seal and

1022
01:51:59,18 --> 01:52:05,21
solidify Israel's grip on the city and
separate its completely from the rest of the

1023
01:52:05,23 --> 01:52:11,84
West Bank signaling to the Palestinians
the Jerusalem is off the negotiation

1024
01:52:11,86 --> 01:52:18,38
table this is the building over here

1025
01:52:19,25 --> 01:52:19,100
was meant to be

1026
01:52:20,01 --> 01:52:27,58
a. Part of. And

1027
01:52:27,59 --> 01:52:30,62
it had a view. And they have

1028
01:52:30,63 --> 01:52:34,99
a wall runs right in front of
the never got finished kind of

1029
01:52:35,00 --> 01:52:39,60
a symbol of the state that almost got stuck
at the rest of the neighborhood never

1030
01:52:39,61 --> 01:52:43,28
allowed developed and them out of Bush.

1031
01:52:50,71 --> 01:52:55,77
Or up Will. Be Cheney. Who.

1032
01:53:00,61 --> 01:53:02,39
I think the wall is

1033
01:53:02,40 --> 01:53:07,27
a problem and I've discussed this with Ariel
Sharon it is very difficult to develop

1034
01:53:07,28 --> 01:53:11,21
confidence between the Palestinians
and the Israel Israel with

1035
01:53:11,25 --> 01:53:15,95
a wall snaking through
the West Bank the war is

1036
01:53:16,80 --> 01:53:23,73
a way to turn back to the
policy the whole thing the

1037
01:53:23,74 --> 01:53:29,73
concept of war is an attempt to convert
the Israeli Palestinian conflict into

1038
01:53:29,74 --> 01:53:34,77
Borders for one manifestation is
God Well the other one is the war

1039
01:53:36,74 --> 01:53:39,56
on the back couldn't care less what
happened in the other which is

1040
01:53:40,72 --> 01:53:43,36
a change of Russian or

1041
01:53:43,37 --> 01:53:49,24
a change in the perception of of the
Palestinians by the right of the underestimate

1042
01:53:49,25 --> 01:53:53,90
that because before they just discarded
the whole thing Palestinians are not

1043
01:53:53,91 --> 01:54:00,77
important menage will now they know
they're not much so they created

1044
01:54:00,78 --> 01:54:06,28
the border fence and following the
Palestinians for the other side of

1045
01:54:09,77 --> 01:54:15,64
the Israeli conquest of East Jerusalem and
the policies that followed to change the

1046
01:54:15,65 --> 01:54:22,50
status of the city has been condemned
by almost everyone in the world not

1047
01:54:22,51 --> 01:54:27,94
a single country recognises the Israeli
occupation and annex ation of East

1048
01:54:27,95 --> 01:54:29,86
Jerusalem not

1049
01:54:29,87 --> 01:54:36,42
a single country has an embassy in
Jerusalem. And countless United Nations

1050
01:54:36,43 --> 01:54:43,14
resolutions have been.
Condemning Israeli policies. Not

1051
01:54:43,15 --> 01:54:46,93
a single one has been
respected all implement.

1052
01:54:51,63 --> 01:54:56,64
Between Israel's disregard for international
law and the reluctance of the

1053
01:54:56,65 --> 01:54:59,61
international community to intervene in

1054
01:54:59,62 --> 01:55:04,68
a meaningful way the Holy
Land continues to boil and.

1055
01:55:07,65 --> 01:55:14,39
The passion for the soil and stones and
Johnson has captured its peoples and thrown

1056
01:55:14,86 --> 01:55:15,19
into

1057
01:55:15,20 --> 01:55:27,08
a span of violence discrimination
oppression and occupation. What

1058
01:55:27,09 --> 01:55:34,05
is lacking. City. The city
that is united in name

1059
01:55:34,89 --> 01:55:38,19
but divided in the hearts
and minds of its people.

1060
01:55:46,37 --> 01:55:52,08
When the Stones of Jerusalem become holier
than its people than Doesn't Jerusalem

1061
01:55:52,09 --> 01:55:59,02
lose its holiness there is no shortage
of solutions for sharing Jerusalem

1062
01:55:59,28 --> 01:56:04,71
in a way that saves its people and
preserves its holiness but that is

1063
01:56:04,72 --> 01:56:11,36
a shortage of well to end the occupation
and respect each other's ties to the land

1064
01:56:14,78 --> 01:56:15,43
permitting

1065
01:56:15,47 --> 01:56:21,84
a racist demographic policy that denies
Palestinians of the right to live in their

1066
01:56:21,89 --> 01:56:28,45
own homes were not put anyone on
the path to peace. Ending the

1067
01:56:28,46 --> 01:56:31,39
illegal occupation when.

1068
01:56:35,13 --> 01:56:36,13
Live was leave

1069
01:56:36,24 --> 01:56:42,16

Enough. One son I.

1082

Independent media is the hope.
